I am very happy to say that is has been a very_long_time since I've seen a real, live H. C. Bay but this comes close to it; and maybe closer to Brambach. I liked the 'bottom off the barrel' analogy mentioned today. It inspired me to jest with a friend today while "tuning" a Brambach, when ask 'How is it'?; I said, "My quality meter is giving me a false high reading, it stops at zero".
